Teachers throughout California rallied Thursday to send a message to Sacramento. Stop the cuts.
Orland Unified School District teachers set up tables, carried signs and offered information and petitions for people wanting state legislators to re-think cutting any more money from education budgets. The demonstrations were staggered as each school let out.
In Willows, teachers began their rally at 7 a.m.
Willows Teacher Association President Shelley Amaro said Stand Up for Schools carried more than one message.
"It's important to act on a local level and get people involved," she said. "We want people to begin thinking about protecting education."
Hoping the event "planted a seed," Amaro suggested people support pro-education candidates in the next election.
Moreover, she said she hopes people will "get the thought in mind, 'what can I do with my vote, with my body with my wallet?'"
Amaro noted the it was important to participate in something positive, for a change.
